Construction · What we hear

What's holding construction owners back.

Cash is unpredictable

Progress billings, holdbacks, and supplier terms make it hard to know what cash you'll have next week.

You see job profit too late

By the time a job's numbers come in, it's already done — and the margin you lost is gone.

Subcontractors hide surprises

Change orders, back-charges, and slow subs eat into the margin you thought you had.

How we help

Expert financial guidance for construction owners — without hiring another executive.

Catch job cost drift in week one, not month six

Every job is tracked weekly against the bid, change orders, and committed costs. The moment labour hours, materials, or sub commitments start drifting from estimate, you get a flag — with the dollar impact attached.

Cash predictions by project stage

A rolling 13-week cash view that knows how each job pays: deposit, mobilization, monthly draws, holdback release, and warranty. Example: a $1.8M reno billed monthly with 10% holdback shows you a $180K cash gap landing in month 4 — six weeks before it hits, so you can move a supplier payment or pull a draw forward.

Win the right jobs at the right price

Clear margin targets and a simple bid review so you stop winning unprofitable work.
